Extraordinary Pregnancies star and mum-of-13 Mandy Gardner died aged 43 by suicide, an inquest heard.
She had a taste of fame when she starred on TLC’s Extraordinary Pregnancies with her husband Nathan in 2016, four years ago.
Mandy was found dead in a woodland near her home in Worthing, West Sussex on April 7.
She was last seen alive five days before she was found on April 7.
A coroner ruled her death was a suicide after she suffered from “personal issues”, according to The Sun.
Her family said their final goodbye to the mum at Durrington Cemetery Chapel, in Worthing on June 15.
At the time on Extraordinary Pregnancies, couple Mandy and Nathan were trying for baby number 12 as they had 11 children already.
Following starring on the show, they went onto have two more children.
Her 13th child arrived two years ago.
Mandy previously described being the mum to many kids was “absolute bedlam”.
She explained: “There are times when it can be absolute bedlam; they’ll be dogs running around, kids chasing the dogs, adults chasing the kids that are chasing the dogs!
“Not all of my pregnancies were planned – 12 is us being careful – you know, each and every one has been a welcomed addition.”
“Crazy is normal in this house. Would I trade it in for a quiet life – no.”
